Turbocap / other flavors of Linux

[Stuart Kendrick <skendric () fhcrc org>]

Hi Gianluca,

What would it take to run Turbocap cards under some flavor of Linux
other than Fedora?

Looks like the current package requires kernel-2.6.27+

flim> pwd
/mnt/rpms/x86_64
flim> ls
kernel-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.preemptive.kernel.kt.fc10.x86_64.rpm
kernel-devel-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.preemptive.kernel.kt.fc10.x86_64.rpm
kernel-firmware-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.preemptive.kernel.kt.fc10.x86_64.rpm
kernel-headers-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.preemptive.kernel.kt.fc10.x86_64.rpm
libpcap-1.0.0-tc_17.fc10.x86_64.rpm
libpcap-devel-1.0.0-tc_17.fc10.x86_64.rpm
turbocap-1.6.2117-1.fc10.x86_64.rpm
turbocap-module-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.preemptive.kernel.kt.fc10-1.6.2117-1.fc10.x86_64.rpm

I'm focused on CentOS, which seems to be a little behind in terms of
kernel revs:

flim> uname -a
Linux flim.company.com 2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Fri Apr 2 14:58:14 EDT 2010
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
flim>


Am I in the business of waiting for the CentOS folks to upgrade to
2.6.27+?  Or can you see a shorter path to loading the Turbocap drivers
under an earlier kernel?
